Simao has a good reputation. He's not a patch on Pennant in most areas. From what i've seen of Simao his set pieces are excellent and slightly better than Pennant's.

Pennant has more pace, ability to go past players and his crossing is superb. He also works hard for the team, tracks back and has a intelligence in his game.

The problem is, the lads playing with alot of average players at Birmingham under an average manager. Birmingham have David Dunn and Jermaine Pennant who are capable of walking into almost every side in the country. The rest of there team is poor with the exception of one or two decent players.

The likes of Keane, Ashton and Pennant have the ability to be superb players at the biggest teams, yet their reputation goes against them.

I've called many players before and i still stand by my judgement of player.

Yes, all true but you are forgetting one of the most important things: attitude.

Pennant has done time for drink driving and apparently showed up earlier this season for a Birmingham training session drunk.

He needs to do his penance (sorry  ) with a team like Birmingham for another year or two and keep his nose clean in order for a club like ours to take a punt on him.

You only had to hear Garth Crooks assessment of our performace on Final Score on Saturday. Asked how Liverpool played/looked he replied 'impossible to say coz Portsmouth are dreadful, Crouch missed a penalty, lost all his confidence and then dissapeared'. What fuc.kin game was he watching?

Whether you like Crouch or not (i happen to like him) he's a Liverpool player. The media are treating him like shi.t and trying to make the lad into some sort of lauging stock. Even if i didn't like him as a plyer i would be defending him to the hilt right now with all the flak coming his way.
